Loving your Spouse Unconditionally


Loving your Spouse Unconditionally




Now that you have been married for a few months, have you been asking yourself what happened to my fairy tale?  Almost every woman wants the fairy tale to continue after the wedding, but reality sets in after financial problems arrive, small disagreements or everyday life happens.  When these things happen we begin noticing our Spouse's weaknesses. You start asking yourself, "Where is the person that I married and what happened to my perfect marriage"?



After months of being married to your Spouse reality sets in, and you begin to notice some of your Spouse's weaknesses. It's easy to begin doubting your marriage and to start thinking that you could have made a mistake.  These kind of thoughts can be dangerous, because once you allow negative thinking to enter your mind, you are opening the door to temptation.  The enemy loves it when you start doubting your marriage, so do not allow it to happen. When you find yourself thinking negative thoughts, stop whatever you are doing and pray.  Say this out loud, "True love doesn't mean having a relationship of ease; it means making the choice to love and forgive my Spouse. Being married means choosing to love your Spouse everyday, regardless of bad times".

You made a vow to love your Spouse in sickness and in health, in good times and bad! You made a decision to commit your life to your Spouse.  It is not an easy task, but having a great marriage is possible when you put a continuous effort to make the right decisions through loving actions. 

Upon reading Luke 6:31-36 I felt that Jesus was telling us that we have to love our Spouse even when they are unloving or difficult. God loves us though we have sinned, He still loves us unconditionally. The Lord wants us to show forgiveness, love and trust to our Spouse, because he does it for us daily.

Showing your Husband Respect

If you ask your Husband what he wants the most from you, chances are he will say, "Respect"! In Ephesians 5:33 apostle Paul encourages Husbands to love their wives and wives to respect their husbands. Paul knew that husbands need to be reminded that their wife should love and respect them. Could we as wives slip out of respecting our husbands and begin nagging and focusing on their weaknesses? Respect is what a husband wants; it's what a marriage needs. Wives who show their husband respect is allowing her Husband to become all that he ought to be. To understand how a wife is supposed to treat her husband, read Ephesians 5:33. "Let the wife see that she respects and reverences her husband [that she notices him, regards him, honors him, prefers him, venerates and esteems him; and that she defers him, praises him. loves and admires him exceedingly]." Look again at the verse, consider each phrase and relate it to how you treat your Husban...

Fulfilling Sexual Intimacy in Marriage

To have a great marriage, you must remain sexually active with your Spouse! Do you know that many marital problems can be related to not having your needs met sexually? Most couples face the frustration of having one spouse with a consistently stronger sex drive than the other . The Bible tells us how we can manage our sex lives in 1 Corinthians 7:3-5 The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise, the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. The verse states that couples should make love whenever the other Spouse wants to have sex. That means even if you are not in the mood at the ...
